|
|
Because Hibernate is designed to operate in many different environments, there
|
|
are a large number of configuration parameters. Fortunately, most have sensible
|
|
default values and Hibernate is distributed with an example
|
|
<literal>hibernate.properties</literal> file in <literal>etc/</literal> that shows
|
|
the various options. Just put the example file in your classpath and customize it.

<para>
|
|
An instance of <literal>org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration</literal>
|
|
represents an entire set of mappings of an application's Java types to an
|
|
SQL database. The <literal>Configuration</literal> is used to build an
|
|
(immutable) <literal>SessionFactory</literal>. The mappings are compiled
|
|
from various XML mapping files.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
You may obtain a <literal>Configuration</literal> instance by instantiating
|
|
it directly and specifying XML mapping documents. If the mapping files are
|
|
in the classpath, use <literal>addResource()</literal>:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting><![CDATA[Configuration cfg = new Configuration()
|
|
.addResource("Item.hbm.xml")
|
|
.addResource("Bid.hbm.xml");]]></programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
An alternative (sometimes better) way is to specify the mapped class, and
|
|
let Hibernate find the mapping document for you:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting><![CDATA[Configuration cfg = new Configuration()
|
|
.addClass(org.hibernate.auction.Item.class)
|
|
.addClass(org.hibernate.auction.Bid.class);]]></programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Then Hibernate will look for mapping files named
|
|
<literal>/org/hibernate/auction/Item.hbm.xml</literal> and
|
|
<literal>/org/hibernate/auction/Bid.hbm.xml</literal> in the classpath.
|
|
This approach eliminates any hardcoded filenames.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
A <literal>Configuration</literal> also allows you to specify configuration
|
|
properties:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting><![CDATA[Configuration cfg = new Configuration()
|
|
.addClass(org.hibernate.auction.Item.class)
|
|
.addClass(org.hibernate.auction.Bid.class)
|
|
.setProperty("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect")
|
|
.setProperty("hibernate.connection.datasource", "java:comp/env/jdbc/test")
|
|
.setProperty("hibernate.order_updates", "true");]]></programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
This is not the only way to pass configuration properties to Hibernate.

the application must obtain a factory for <literal>Session</literal> instances.

<para>
|

A <literal>SessionFactory</literal> may open a <literal>Session</literal> on
|
|
a user-provided JDBC connection. This design choice frees the application to
|
|
obtain JDBC connections wherever it pleases:

<literal>Session</literal>s on the same JDBC connection!

</para>

<para>
|

We don't recommend user-provided JDBC connections, as Hibernate will disable

caching (it doesn't know what else you might have executed on the given

connection) and one of the following options is usually more appropriate.

Hibernate's own connection pooling algorithm is however quite rudimentary.
|
|
It is intended to help you get started and is <emphasis>not intended for use
|
|
in a production system</emphasis> or even for performance testing. You should
|
|
use a third party pool for best performance and stability. Just replace the
|
|
<literal>hibernate.connection.pool_size</literal> property with connection
|
|
pool specific settings. This will turn off Hibernate's internal pool. For
|
|
example, you might like to use C3P0.

</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
C3P0 is an open source JDBC connection pool distributed along with
|
|
Hibernate in the <literal>lib</literal> directory. Hibernate will use its
|
|
<literal>C3P0ConnectionProvider</literal> for connection pooling if you set
|
|
<literal>hibernate.c3p0.*</literal> properties. If you'd like to use Proxool
|

refer to the packaged <literal>hibernate.properties</literal> and the Hibernate
|
|
web site for more information.

fetching</emphasis> will often increase performance by limiting the number of round

trips to and from the database (at the cost of possibly more work performed by

by many-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many and one-to-one associations to be retrieved

|
in a single SQL <literal>SELECT</literal>.

If you wish to use the Hibernate <literal>Transaction</literal> API instead
|
|
of directly calling a particular system transaction API, you must

specify a factory class for <literal>Transaction</literal> instances by
|
|
setting the property <literal>hibernate.transaction.factory_class</literal>.

The <literal>Transaction</literal> API hides the underlying transaction

<title>JNDI-bound <literal>SessionFactory</literal></title>

<para>

A JNDI bound Hibernate <literal>SessionFactory</literal> can simplify the lookup
|
|
of the factory and the creation of new <literal>Session</literal>s. Note that this
|
|
is not related to a JNDI bound <literal>Datasource</literal> in a managed environment.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you wish to have the <literal>SessionFactory</literal> bound to a JNDI namespace, specify
|
|
a name (eg. <literal>java:hibernate/SessionFactory</literal>) using the property
|
|
<literal>hibernate.session_factory_name</literal>. If this property is omitted, the
|
|
<literal>SessionFactory</literal> will not be bound to JNDI. (This is especially useful in
|
|
environments with a read-only JNDI default implementation, eg. Tomcat.)
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
When binding the <literal>SessionFactory</literal> to JNDI, Hibernate will use the values of
|
|
<literal>hibernate.jndi.url</literal>, <literal>hibernate.jndi.class</literal> to instantiate
|
|
an initial context. If they are not specified, the default <literal>InitialContext</literal>
|
|
will be used.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Hibernate will automatically place the <literal>SessionFactory</literal> in JNDI after
|
|
you call <literal>cfg.buildSessionFactory()</literal>. This means you will at least have
|
|
this call in some startup code (or utility class) in your application, unless you use
|
|
JMX deployment with the <literal>HibernateService</literal>.
|

</para>

<para>
|

If you use a JNDI <literal>SessionFactory</literal>, an EJB or any other class may

obtain the <literal>SessionFactory</literal> using a JNDI lookup. Note that this

setup is not neccessary if you use the <literal>HibernateUtil</literal> helper class

introduced in chapter 1, which acts as a Singleton registry.

To use Log4j you will need to place a <literal>log4j.properties</literal>

Hibernate in the <literal>src/</literal> directory.

We strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with Hibernate's log

messages. A lot of work has been put into making the Hibernate log as

detailed as possible, without making it unreadable. It is an essential

|
troubleshooting device. Also don't forget to enable SQL logging as
|

described above (<literal>hibernate.show_sql</literal>), it is your first
|
|
step when looking for performance problems.

You may provide rules for automatically generating database identifiers from

Java identifiers or for processing "logical" column and table names given in

Hibernate is quite minimal.

An alternative approach to configuration is to specify a full configuration in
|
|
a file named <literal>hibernate.cfg.xml</literal>. This file can be used as a
|
|
replacement for the <literal>hibernate.properties</literal> file or, if both
|

are present, to override properties.

The XML configuration file is by default expected to be in the root o
|
|
your <literal>CLASSPATH</literal>. Here is an example:

As you can see, the advantage of this approach is the externalization of the
|
|
mapping file names to configuration. The <literal>hibernate.cfg.xml</literal>
|
|
is also more convenient once you have to tune the Hibernate cache. Note that is
|
|
your choice to use either <literal>hibernate.properties</literal> or
|
|
<literal>hibernate.cfg.xml</literal>, both are equivalent, except for the above
|
|
mentioned benefits of using the XML syntax.
